Lewis Kerr finds it easy to compartmentalise the toughest days of his life. Whilst he was fighting for his life, first on the Peterborough track, then in hospital, he was blissfully unaware of what was happening.
The speedway world collectively held its breath after Kerr was saved on the track by paramedic Jason Gillingham after a horrific crash sent him hurtling head first into a metal gate. He was airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital, where he was placed in a medically induced coma for three days before regaining consciousness and breathing on his own.
During those torturous hours, his family including wife Jessie, who was five months pregnant, were told to be prepared for the worst. Yet this weekend, after a miraculous and inspiring comeback, Kerr hosts his testimonial to mark 11 years and counting in the sport.
